Keep Your Home California is a federally-funded program to help California homeowners struggling to pay their mortgages. California has received nearly $2 billion and is working with housing counselors and servicers to provide assistance to eligible homeowners and prevent avoidable foreclosures.

The California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) was established in 1975 as the state’s affordable housing bank. CalHFA makes low interest rate loans to first-time homebuyers and multifamily developers through the sale of tax-exempt bonds and other financing tools.
